Approximately 80% of plastic waste in the oceans originates from land. The **OBP Collection Organization Standard** is a specific module of this program focusing entirely on the "collection" phase. It ensures that plastic waste accumulating in areas without effective waste management infrastructure—specifically within 50 kilometers of shorelines—is collected in an environmentally safe, socially just, and transparent manner before it reaches the ocean. ## **Key Technical Criteria of the OBP Collection Standard** This standard regulates not only the physical collection of plastics but also the welfare of waste pickers and the strict traceability of the materials. The technical framework can be summarized as follows: - **OBP Scope and Geographical Boundaries:** The collected waste must originate from areas at high risk of leaking into the ocean (beaches, riverbanks, or land within **50 km** of the coast lacking efficient waste management). - The waste must consist of abandoned micro or macro plastics. - **Social Responsibility and Fair Trade:** The standard fiercely protects the rights of waste pickers, who often operate in the informal sector. - There is zero tolerance for child labor. It is mandatory to provide fair and timely wages, adequate personal protective equipment (PPE), and safe, hygienic working conditions for the collectors. - **Environmental Impact Management:** Plastic collection activities must not harm the local ecosystem, wildlife, or flora/fauna. The collection process must be executed with strict regard for ecological balance. - **Traceability and Chain of Custody:** The volumes of collected OBP, along with exact collection locations and dates, must be meticulously recorded. - The collected plastics must be verifiably transferred (invoiced and tracked) to OBP-certified recycling facilities. This strict tracking prevents conventional plastics from being falsely claimed as OBP (greenwashing). ## **Why Choose OBP Collection Organization Certification with ETKO?** Protecting the oceans is one of today's most critical global objectives, and global brands are under pressure to prove that the recycled plastic in their products is genuinely "ocean-friendly." The OBP Collection Organization certification process, conducted by ETKO’s expert auditors, provides internationally recognized verification that your on-the-ground collection activities are ethical, environmentally sound, and fully traceable. This certificate is the most powerful way to prove to recyclers and global brands that you are a transparent supplier of premium, impact-driven raw materials. ## 如何向 ETKO 申请 OBP Collection Organization Standard (Ocean Bound Plastic) 认证？ 请通过 ETKO Ecoport 门户申请：https://ecoport.etko.com.tr/apply ## 申请流程 在 ETKO，我们以透明、高效、清晰的方式管理您的申请。流程包括以下步骤： 1. **申请与信息沟通** — 收集贵公司架构与生产工艺的初步信息。 2. **方案与合同** — 提供详细的检验方案，并在您确认后签署合同。 3. **审核前准备** — 准备所需文件（化学品清单、社会责任文件等）。 4. **现场审核** — ETKO 专业审核员到访贵司现场，对照准则核查符合性。 5. **报告与发证** — 在不符合项（如有）关闭后，批准审核报告并颁发证书。 ## Accreditations - GOTS: International Organic Accreditation Service - accreditation for certification programs worldwide. - National Organic Program (NOP): United States Department of Agriculture — NOP accredited certifying agent. - TR Organik & GLOBALGAP & İTU: Turkish Accreditation Agency (TURKAK) — Turkey's national accreditation body for conformity assessment. - COSMOS: International Organic Accreditation Service — accreditation for certification programs worldwide. - Textile Exchange Standards: International Organic Accreditation Service — accreditation for certification programs worldwide. - ISO/IEC 17065:2012: International Organic Accreditation Service — accreditation for certification programs worldwide. ## Countries of operation Bangladesh, Pakistan, Ukraine, Korea, China, Denmark, Germany, Syria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kyrgyzstan, Serbia, Romania, Sweden, Bulgaria, Russia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar ## 在哪里可以找到 OBP Collection Organization Standard (Ocean Bound Plastic) 法规和表格？ ETKO 文件中心提供该标准的法规、申请表及现行指南：https://ecoport.etko.com.tr/apply ## Related pages - HTML: https://www.etko.com.tr/zh/certifications/plastic/obp-toplama-organizasyonu-standardi-ocean-bound-plastic - About ETKO: https://www.etko.com.tr/zh/about - Contact: https://www.etko.com.tr/zh/contact - Document center: https://www.etko.com.tr/zh/documents?category=plastic&standard=obp-toplama-organizasyonu-standardi-ocean-bound-plastic
